Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: AGENDA ITEM: INTRODUCTION: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT APRIL 5, 2004 98 CYNTHIA KIRCHOFF, AICP, PLANNER JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE PRIOR LAKE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 5 ACRES FROM R-3 TO C-3 ON PROPERTY LOCATED ON CSAH 21 BETWEEN WEST AVENUE AND DULUTH AVENUE {Case File #04-37} Historv: The City Council initiated a Zoning Map Amendment to change the use district from R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to C-3 (Specialty Retail) on property located on CSAH 12 between West Avenue and Duluth Avenue. The property is designated C- TC (Town Center Commercial) on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. On August 18, 2003, the City Council approved a resolution amending the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map to designate the subject property C- TC (Town Center Commercial). The Metropolitan Council deemed the amendment consistent with the regional plan on September 10, 2003. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 22, 2004, and unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning. The Commission heard testimony from four property owners who were concerned about the impacts of commercial zoning on the neighborhood. A copy of the meeting minutes is attached. Current Circumstances: The property is currently void of structures. Numerous trees blanket the site, and a wetland is present in the northwest corner of the L:\04 FILES\04 REZONE\staber-klingberg ~~cLake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 property. The following are the physical characteristics of the subject property. Total Site Area: The total site is 5 acres. The net acreage, excluding wetland and storm water pond, is 4.536 acres. Topooraphv: The topography of this site rises 34' from the low point (the wetland) on the west to the highest elevation, 964.6' MSL, at the center of the site. The property then slopes to the east with an elevation of 936' at Duluth Avenue. Veoetation: This site includes numerous stands of trees. Development on the site is subject to the Tree Preservation requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The Tree Preservation Ordinance allows removal of 25 percent of the total caliper inches for grading and utilities, and removal of an additional 25 percent of the total caliper inches for building pads without tree replacement. Removal of additional caliper inches requires replacement at a rate of 1/2 caliper inch for each caliper inch removed. Initial calculations indicate tree replacement is required. Wetlands: There is a 12,737 square foot wetland located at the northwest corner of the site. There is also an existing 7,601 square foot NURP pond located along West Avenue on the west side of the property. Access: Access to the site is from West Avenue on the west side of the property. There is an existing private street, Racine Street, which provides access to two houses southwest of the site. Adiacent Zonino and Land Use Plan desionations: The following table details adjacent zoning and comprehensive plan designations: Zoning Land Use Plan North R-1, Low Density R-UMD, Urban Residential Low/Medium Density South R-2, Low-Medium R-UMD, Urban Density Residential Low/Medium Density East R-2, Low-Medium R-UMD, Urban Density Residential Low/Medium Density West R-1, Low Density R-UMD, Urban Residential Low/Medium Density L:\04 FILES\04 REZONE\staber-klingberg property\cc report.doc 2 Issues: In anticipation of the property developing for a commercial use, the zoning map must be amended to be consistent with the C- TC land use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. Thus, the property must be rezoned to C-3 because this use district is consistent with the C- TC comprehensive plan land use designation. "The purpose of the lC-3' Specialty Use Business Use District is to provide for a variety of commercial and residential uses within the framework of a traditional downtown area." Permitted uses in the C-3 use district include retail, offices, services, hotels/motels, and showrooms. A specific use has not yet been established for the property. Zonina Ordinance Amendment Findinas Section 1108.600 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the following policies for amendments to the Official Zoning Map: · The area, as presently zoned, is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan, or the land was originally zoned erroneously due to a technical or administrative error, or · The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to rezone so as to encourage redevelopment of the area, or · The permitted uses allowed within the proposed Use District will be appropriate on the subject property and compatible with adjacent properties and the neighborhood. The current R-3 zoning of the property is inconsistent with the C- TC land use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. The proposed C- 3 zoning is the only zoning use district consistent with the C-TC designation. Accordingly the zoning map amendment will carry out the goals, objectives, and policies set forth in the comprehensive plan. L:\04 FILES\04 REZONE\staber-klingberg property\cc report. doc 3 CONCI IISION. In conclusion, the Zoning Map Amendment will allow the property to be rezoned from R-3 to C-3. The proposed C-3 use district is consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, the Planning Commission recommends approval.

Case #04-37 An amendment to the City oCPrior Lake Zoning Map on approximately 5 acres oC land located on the south side oC CSAH 21, ~ block north oCColorado Street, directly west oCDuluth Avenue and east oCWest Avenue, Crom R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to C-3(Town Center). Planner Cynthia Kirchoff presented the Planning Report dated March 22, 2004, on file in the office of the City Planning Department. The City Council initiated a Zoning Map Amendment to change the use district from R-3 (Medium Density Residential) to C-3 (Specialty Retail) on property located on CSAH 12 between W est Avenue and Duluth Avenue. The property is designated C- TC (Town Center Commercial) on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. On August 18,2003, the City Council approved a resolution amending the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map to designate the subject property C-TC (Town Center Commercial). The Metropolitan Council deemed the amendment consistent with the regional plan on September 10,2003. L:\04 FILES\04 PLAN COMMIS\04 pc Minutes\MN032204.doc I The proposed use district is consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, staff recommends approval. Ringstad asked if there were any proposed development plans for the property. Kirchoff said staff did not receive an application for a building permit or any other application. Ringstad asked if there were any special zoning restrictions because part of the property is in the Shoreland District. Kirchoff responded the applicants would have to adhere to the zoning requirements. Only 75% of the site can be covered with hard surface as it is a commercial use in addition to the C3 standards. Comments from the public: Bob Beck, 5438 Fairlawn Shores Trail, questioned the uses in the CT District as he owns property on the adjoining Racine Street. Kirchoff summarized with the uses. Beck felt it was odd the two properties on Racine were not part of the rezoning. He also said he would like a buffer or berm between the zoning districts. He did not want a fast food restaurant near his property. Kansier responded to Beck's concerns. Staff cannot guarantee the type of uses, whatever is permitted. Beck questioned ifhis adjoining property could be part of the rezoning. Kansier explained the procedure. Dan Swanson, 16130 West Avenue felt the rezoning does not fit the area. He did not see the need to rezone, there would be a lot of congestion with traffic. Residents on Colorado would loose their view and back yards. Wendlyn Tillie, 4280 Colorado Street, questioned the value of the property or can the residents buy the property. West Avenue is congested with all the people fishing in the summer. She didn't buy her house to live downtown. Becky Vossen, 16220 West Avenue, said she likes walking down to the pond with her children. Prior Lake is built up enough. She agreed with Swanson with businesses leaving Prior Lake. She suggested the City buy the property to leave the property alone. There are enough commercial areas in Prior Lake. The public hearing was closed at 6:52 p.m. Comments from the Commissioners: Ringstad: This property was looked at last summer with a Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission along with City Council changed the designation. The present zoning is not in sync with the current Comp Plan. There is no immediate plans to build at this time. As far as buying the property, we don't know if its for sale. The City is making the zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. L:\04 FILES\04 PLAN COMMIS\04 pc Minutes\MN032204.doc Support changes. Perez: There was another forum for public opinion. Agreed with Ringstad this has to be in sync with the Comp Plan. The designation is a better fit. Approve amendment. Lemke: Agreed with Commissioners. He understands the residents concern. The City Council already changed the designation to Town Center. There is not a lot of options at this point. As Planning Commissioners we do not have the say in buying property. Perez: We have met with the city Council regarding the future of PL and expansion. An outside consultant came in and assessed the area. The growth with annexation - this is long term thinking of what the City can support. Eventually this will be a good use. Ringstad: Explained the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Nobody is being asked to do anything different with their homes. MOTION BY RINGSTAD, SECOND BY PEREZ, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZONrnG ORDrnANCE AMENDMENT TO CHANGETHEZONrnGFROM R-3 TO C-3. Vote taken indicated ayes by all. MOTION CARRIED.
